Notes / Commercial Description:
Voo Doo is a full bodied, dark brew that is rich and malty with plenty of roasted barley character. This hearty stout is layered with flavors of roasted barley, chocolate, and coffee coming from the highest quality imported malts. Its creamy long lasting head completes the brew, tempting your taste buds to be spellbound.

Pours a standard black and very dark brown pour, brown head on the top, 2/3" deep. Good retention. Aroma was mostly roasted malt. Standard fare in that department.

Taste, again, all roasted malt. Very little in the way of chocolate or coffee feels from the roasted malt though. No frills. Not overly bitter, but there also isn't much else to temper anything. Alcohol while not pronounced, was not tucked in out of the way either. I wouldn't describe the mouthfeel as creamy either, there is plenty of astringency, like the roasting took every aspect of water and bled it out. Carbonation seemed a little bit excessive, which is far more preferential than not enough.

This is as straight up of an American stout in a bomber as they come. Standard fare to say the least.

A very nice American Stout option. Colour is almost completely black with a tan head. Smells malty, chocalate and coffee, but not over the top. Tastes much like the aroma with a little biscuit backbone. Goes down smooth if you sip it and at 8 abv it isn't crazy like some Stouts that have higher abv's. Not bad at all. Prost!

Look: Thick black with absolute density and a short tan head with short retention and dense lacing
Smell: Butter, chocolate, cherries and espresso. Mild compared to some imperial stouts but hits the right notes. Similar to Guinness.
Taste: Buttery texture with mild carbonation and notes of chocolate, cherries, orange, and coffee.
Mouthfeel: Fairly creamy with noticable carbonation and a smooth, dry aftertaste. Par for the course
Overall: Creamy and sweet with minimal alcohol taste but the flavors and textures are mild.

Pours pitch black with a light tan head that removes itself quickly. Smell of malts and chocolate. Same goes for the taste lots of malts and chocolate. Medium body with little carbination, finishes very smooth.
